-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label msxy</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>Where are the <code>msx</code> and <code>msy</code> fonts?</h3>
-<p/>The <i>msx</i> and <i>msy</i> fonts were designed by the
-American Mathematical Society in the very early days of TeX, for
-use in typesetting papers for mathematical journals. They were
-designed using the &#8216;old&#8217; Metafont, which wasn&#8217;t portable and is no longer
-available; for a long time they were only available in 300dpi versions
-which only imperfectly matched modern printers. The AMS has
-now redesigned the fonts, using the current version of Metafont, and the
-new versions are called the <i>msa</i> and <i>msb</i>
-families.
-<p/>Nevertheless, <i>msx</i> and <i>msy</i> continue to turn up to
-plague us. There are, of course, still sites that haven&#8217;t got around
-to upgrading; but, even if everyone upgraded, there would still be the
-problem of old documents that specify them.
-<p/>If you have a <code>.tex</code> source that requests <i>msx</i> and
-<i>msy</i>, the best technique is to edit it so that it requests
-<i>msa</i> and <i>msb</i> (you only need to change the single
-letter in the font names).
-<p/>If you have a DVI file that requests the fonts, there is a package
-of <a href="FAQ-virtualfonts.html">virtual fonts</a> to map the old to the new series.
